I think my favourite moment was when I looking for one of my vergers who was in the stroke ward of the hospital where Samantha Janus is a sister.

And I'm walking down looking at these very sick people and I come to this old boy and I move to the end of his bed. I've got this cloak and hood up, which frames my face, and he wakes up and he screams and he says 'You look like death!' to which I reply 'Well we're none of us getting any younger'. That was a great joy to say.

One of my favourite scenes from the pilot is when Jude opens up the morgue and you're just standing there.

That was a real morgue where we shot that scene, where she opens the door and sees me standing at the other side. I was in the reception room and Sam's character was on the other side in the dissecting room so when she opened her door I was already there. It was a real mortuary, and I had to ask the wardrobe when we'd finished the pilot and started the series to give me some new gloves, because these reeked of formaldehyde.
